A Month Later

~ "Y/N, I don't meant to alarm you but we have kind of a small situation."

Y/N looked at Akaashi with an alarmed face, "Oh god what is it?"

He showed his laptop to her, "Youre company just emailed me and... Just read the first few lines."

Her eyes scanned before they widened, "They can't be serious...."

"I think they're very serious."

She stood up, "No! They can't just tell you they want me to edit their next release with the due date being this weekend! Thats like 2 days! Are they crazy!?"

"Look, I think this is more of a test to see how much I've taught you and how much you've learned to see if you can actually do this. If anything they might now even release it."

"So you're saying to not take it seriously?"

He blinked, "What? No. Still treat it as if it were real but maybe relax a bit. Things like this have happened to me plenty of times. You know the material and what you're doing. You've already helped me bunches. I think you'll be fine."

"But I-"

"Alright!" Jo beamed while walking out of Akaashi's room with her suitcase, "I know I was only here for a week but I really should get going."

Y/N looked at her best friend, "Where are you going again?"

"America! A friend of mine had her wedding at this venue there and when she showed me the photos I fell in love! So, I made a reservation to see it this weekend." She set her luggage at the door and stood straight, "My cab is already here so I have to go."

Akaashi walked up to her, "I thought I was taking you to the airport."

"Yes darling but Y/N is here and I don't want her to be all by herself in a strangers apartment. You can just pick me up when I get back, yes?"

"Uh sure I guess. Can I at least help you with your-"

She kissed his cheek, "I'm fine. I'll see you in 2 weeks. Please take good care of my Y/N. She's very lonely without me."

"Hey!"

"Love you both! Bye!"

Jo left the apartment as the other two waved at her.

The ex setter then shut his door and looked at Y/N, "Anyways. As I was saying before I really think you can do this."

"But-"

"If you tell yourself no, then you can't." He said, sitting next to her, "You were sent here because your boss obviously thinks you can. Like I said, just relax and try not to get so stressed because stress doesn't help when it comes to this and a due date."

She sighed, "Well, you're right."

"And if anything, you can work on it here. That way I can help you if you need anything."

His reassurance had calmed her down a bit.

His soothing voice also helped a lot.

Y/N smiled at him, "Are your friends like you?"

Akaashi tilted his head, "What do you mean?"

"Like, are they as... nice as you.?"

"Hm, they're nice but I'd say Kozume and I are the most calm downs. Bokuto and Kuroo are a bit hectic. But they mean well."

"Can I see photos?"

"Sure."

He scooted a bit closer to her as he pulled his phone out and went to his camera roll.

Looking at the photos he had, his friends were definitely all attractive.

But, she thought Akaashi was the prettiest.

She pointed at Kenma who looked like he didn't want to be there, "Is he okay?"

"He's very antisocial."

"Ah.." Finally, she noticed one was in an athletic uniform, "Is this a volleyball uniform?"

"Yep. He's been playing since forever. I played it too."

"Really! I played too but only in middle school. What position did you play?"

"I was a setter. You?"

"Setter. Well first I was a libero but eventually I was trained to be a setter and that's what my coach put me in for."

He gave her a small smile, "Was your middle team school good?"

"Kinda. We weren't awful that's for sure. What about you?"

"We weren't bad. Bokuto was really good and our team kinda revolved around him."

"No wonder he continued to play. Why didn't you?"

He shrugged, "I don't really think it was for me. It was fun for you know, high school but I didn't see myself continuing it as an actual career choice."

"Fair. Well, this has been fun but I really should be getting home now. Tomorrow we're meeting in your office, right?"

"Uh," He quickly checked his schedule for tomorrow and nodded, "Yes, tomorrow and thursday we're at my office and then friday we're back here which is when we'll find out if your edits and notes were good enough for your job."

"Ah don't remind me!"

She began to gather her things and Akaashi helped her as he put them into her bag.

He then walked her to the door, "Remember, just relax and you'll be fine. You have my number so don't hesitate to call if you need, literally anything at all and I'll be on my way. Yeah?"

"You're sweet. Thank you."
